Dear Governor Freudenthal:
Question:
Does the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act (EQA) grant authority to
regulate water quantity to ensure that all produced water from coalbed natural
gas (CBNG) production is at all times actually used for wildlife or livestock
watering or other agricultural uses.
Brief Answer:
No. The EQA allows regulation of the quantity of water if the quantity has an
unacceptable effect on the quality of the water.
DISCUSSION
A petition for rulemaking was filed on December 7, 2005, and a subsequent request
by letter for revision was filed on March 3, 2006, with the Wyoming Environmental Quality
